Is a Nose Bleed 9 Weeks After Rhinoplasty when Blowing Nose Normal?

I have not had any nosebleeds except for in the couple of days following my rhinoplasty, but today in the shower i was blowing my nose, applying pressure to both sides with my hands and a mild nose bleed started from one nostril. It didn't hurt or anything, but I think I may have blown too hard. Have I caused any problems or damaged my nose? Im so worried! Thank you.

Nosebleed after rhinoplasty

A minor amount of bleeding should be fine, if it continues or is very heavy call your plastic surgeon to let them know. The inner nasal mucosa is swollen and fragile for several weeks after surgery so a little bleeding is normal
